Eek!! Has it really already been a week since SassyPacks debuted at the Original Sewing and Quilting Expo? Wow. Well, we had an absolutely fabulous time. In case you missed it on Facebook, here's a shot of our booth:

We met lots of new friends, and got a chance to interact with customers...as an online store, we don't hear from all of you as much as we would like! Hearing people's reaction to SassyPacks was fantastic. We strive to bring you all contemporary fabrics for fresh, modern quilting...and we were so humbled by the reception we received in at the show. If there is a show in your area that you'd like to see us at, send the info our way.

In all the hubbub of getting ready for the show, we missed a very important date - our anniversary!! SassyPacks is now a year old - can you believe it? We opened for business on Sept. 28, 2009 and a year later, we are so happy to be here! We are excited about the next year - we've learned so much, heard from you all on what you like (and don't like), and are ready to have a super Year 2!

Thank you for your support of SassyPacks - truly. The first year of any business is a little wild, but we have such amazing customers! You all make our jobs a joy....so keep the feedback coming, here, on Facebook, Twitter, or email us at contact@sassypacks.com. We love your ideas, questions, comments....even just a hello!

Over the next couple of weeks, we are going to be previewing our holiday fabrics, putting up some new tutorials, and talking a little more about what contemporary quilting is all about. Lots going on - so check back often!

Welcome to SassyBlog!

Believe us when we say -- we've been there.

Join our discussion on the joys of quilting, the not-so-fun moments... and maybe a little mother-daughter drama! We will preview new products from SassyPacks.com, share our tips and tricks for beginning and intermediate quilters, and do our best to make quilting a simple but rewarding hobby.

Our goal is to help you love quilting as much as we do....even when you are ripping out that #!%$* seam for the 10th time. We've been there. We've made those mistakes. We've tossed piles of fabric in the corner and sworn off the entire industry. But the lure of beautiful fabrics always brings us back -- and we know you will feel the same way.
